Fermented Apple Tea (The Easiest Way)

Fragrant, natural, and very tasty, this tea is created by fermenting apple leaves - a successful and healthier alternative to store-bought products. Following the same principle, you can also make a preparation from strawberry, elderberry, bird cherry, blackberry, or pear leaves.

Instructions

  1. Choose clean apple leaves without damage or defects. For fermentation, it is best to use the raw material right after collection. If you decide to rinse the leaves under water, lay them out on a towel to remove excess moisture. Begin placing the prepared leaves into a dry glass container. Pack them down firmly. This is an essential step when making fermented tea.

Pour the dried raw material into a linen or cotton bag, hang it on a rope, and leave it in a dry room or outdoors for 2-3 days. After that, place the fermented apple tea into suitable dry containers. Use the preparation for a fragrant drink for 6-10 months.
